The world’s first AI ‘SoulMate’ learns and adapts to you in real-time

The world’s first AI ‘SoulMate’ learns and adapts to you in real-time

Published by Jenni Sidey

A digital assistant that remembers how you talk, what you like, and how you react sounds simple in theory. In practice, it has been hard to pull off without sending your personal data to distant servers. You also must wait for a reply to come back. That is the gap a Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) team says it has started to close with a new AI semiconductor called SoulMate. This chip is designed to run a personalized large language model directly on a mobile device. Instead of treating every user the same, the chip is built to adapt in real time to an individual’s speech style, preferences, and feedback. Moreover, it keeps personal data on the device itself. The work was led by Professor Hoi-Jun Yoo of the Graduate School of AI Semiconductors. The school described the chip as the first AI semiconductor aimed at becoming a true “digital soulmate.” Unlike others, it is a system that learns from a user continuously rather than acting like a general-purpose chatbot with no …

Europe Learns to Live with an Erratic America

Europe Learns to Live with an Erratic America

Published by José Betancourt

We got this. That was the Trump administration’s message to European allies in the early days of its war with Iran. Washington hadn’t warned its NATO partners about the military campaign, jointly undertaken with Israel, much less consulted with them about the war’s objectives. Instead, American officials told Europeans to look after their own interests. Specifically, the Pentagon advised counterparts in Berlin to concentrate on NATO’s eastern flank—the part of the alliance closest to Russia—while the United States managed Iran and the rest of the Middle East, two German officials told me. “They were really confident,” one of the officials said, referring to U.S. war planners. But that confidence was short-lived, and after President Trump’s hope for a swift victory faded, he began lashing out at NATO for not doing enough to help the United States. Inside the Pentagon, meanwhile, the team helping manage the military’s relationship with NATO allies was about to take a hit. In March, the director of NATO policy in the Office of the Secretary of Defense was abruptly reassigned, current …

De’Longhi’s PrimaDonna Aromatic is a super-automatic espresso machine that learns about you and your beans

De’Longhi’s PrimaDonna Aromatic is a super-automatic espresso machine that learns about you and your beans

Sign Up For Goods 🛍️ Product news, reviews, and must-have deals. Anyone can pull an espresso shot. Pulling a good one, however, can be a lifelong pursuit. Every new bag of beans is a new problem to solve. You have to accommodate a different roast, a different density, a different age, all of which mean a different grind size, dose, and temperature if you want the shot to actually taste good. The process can literally feel like working in a laboratory, which can be cool, but not when you’re bleary eyed and trying to get caffeinated. The trial and error of dialing in your espresso isn’t always a joyous pursuit. The De’Longhi PrimaDonna Aromatic is the first home machine I’ve tested that genuinely alleviates that learning curve. Its new Bean Adapt and Adaptive Grinding technologies do the thing every super-automatic has claimed to do for a decade but has never really delivered: they read the beans you put in, set the machine up for them, and then keep adjusting as the shots come out. This …

Published by Daniella Wilson

Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) has been left shaken after realising the truth about Billy Mayhew’s (Daniel Brocklebank) death in Coronation Street. Poor Billy met his end earlier this Corriedale crossover episode with Emmerdale in January, driving a minibus home from Debbie Webster’s (Sue Devaney) wedding and crashing into a number of vehicles.When he attempted to escape, twisted abuser Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) clipped his seatbelt back into the buckle and allowed the vehicle to ignite. Billy was then only one who knew about what Theo had subjected Todd to, and the situation has only worsened over the months that have followed.Theo spent a brief period feeling extremely guilt-ridden by his actions, and even boldly confessed his regrets when stood over Billy’s coffin. Little did he realise, someone was listening from the next room – Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard)! Carl had already allowed Debbie to be sent down for causing death by dangerous driving, with their neighbours conflicted over who to support. Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby), Billy’s grieving daughter, firmly pinned the blame on Debbie and …

Arsenal FC: Gabriel Martinelli learns punishment decision for referee push amid red card verdict

Published by Sam Flores

Martinelli was booked for his actions but Hackett believes the Arsenal forward should have been sent off. He said: “Referee Sam Barrott awarded a free-kick to Arsenal, Martinelli comes rushing in and he pushes Sam out of the way. “Now I’m sorry, Gabriel Martinelli showed total disrespect for the match official Sam Barrott in that situation. “Although Sam issued a yellow card, for me it’s a red card. You just cannot put your hands on a referee, let alone push him out of the way. Gabriel Martinelli in action for Arsenal against Southampton Arsenal FC via Getty Images “You’ve got to look around the country, up and down, Saturday and Sundays where we have local park referees going out and doing their games. “What message does that send out to our local park referees? “I thought Sam had a good game, he refereed the game well, but I think he let the refereeing community down by not sending off Gabriel Martinelli for pushing him at the award of a free-kick, so he could take the …

J. D. Vance Learns What Mike Pence Already Knows

J. D. Vance Learns What Mike Pence Already Knows

Published by Daniella Wilson

This is an edition of The Atlantic Daily, a newsletter that guides you through the biggest stories of the day, helps you discover new ideas, and recommends the best in culture. Sign up for it here. Mike Pence should have been a warning to J. D. Vance about the inevitable abasement in store once you join a ticket with Donald Trump. Before he became Trump’s running mate a decade ago, conservative Christian values were the center of Pence’s political identity, but in October 2016, he reluctantly stood by Trump after the release of the tape in which Trump boasted about grabbing women “by the pussy.” It was a sign of things to come. Pence became vice president, and for the next four years, he defended his boss through moral abominations and deficit explosions that cut against his fiscal conservatism, flinching only when Trump asked him to help steal an election. His reward? Trump did nothing while a mob threatened to hang Pence. All of this was common knowledge when Vance agreed to run with Trump …

An Insider-Republican Podcast Learns How to Make It in Trump’s America

Published by Sam Flores

Last week, when Team USA Olympic skier Hunter Hess expressed mild displeasure about the state of affairs in his home country, the Ruthless podcast lived up to its name. “If he’s going to exhibit that level of selfishness, it’s time to punish the entire Olympic team,” said Comfortably Smug, an infamous social media personality and cohost of the conservative talk show. “I oppose the US Olympic team. I’m rooting for them to do extremely bad.” His cohosts shook their heads, but he was off to the races. “I want nothing to do with that team of commies and these trashbag people,” he added, before offering a solution to Hess’s insolence: “Kick him off the team. Deport his ass. Send him to China!” After some more back-and-forth, Smug jumped back in. “We’ve gotta punish it,” he said, still talking about Olympic freestyle skiers. “These people want to burn the flag and they want to kill us. I don’t think that telling them that that’s a bad idea is gonna be enough. I think you lock them …

Anthony Esan has been sentenced to life imprisonment (Image: PA) Anthony Esan has been sentenced to life imprisonment and will be detained in hospital “for as long as necessary” after trying to kill a uniformed Army officer, Lieutenant Colonel Mark Teeton, near Brompton Barracks, Chatham, in 2024. Esan was handed a minimum term of seven years and 162 days for repeatedly stabbing Lieutenant Colonel Mark Teeton using two knives in Sally Port Gardens, near Brompton Barracks, Chatham, on July 23 2024. The prosecution said it was a “vicious and deliberate” attack targeting a soldier and that in the lead up to the stabbing Esan had bought a set of knives from Argos days earlier and searched online for attacks, including of murdered soldier Lee Rigby. Forensic psychiatrists told Maidstone Crown Court it is more likely that Esan set out to stab a soldier but that the main driver of his actions was psychosis. Experts agreed he had schizophrenia at the time of the attack. Lt Col Teeton told a three-day sentencing hearing on Monday that he was …
